I’m a hand quiilter, so here’s how to hide your knots (if you want to). Tie a little knot in the end of your quilting thread. You can start from the front or the back, but when you take your first stitch, tug gently on the knot until it pops through your fabric. Knot hidden! If your knot is too big, it won’t go through, and if it’s too small, it will just come through the fabric. It takes a little practice, but it works.

To end, tie a couple of knots in your thread, and weave your needle and thread back through the last two or three quilting stitches. Pull the thread gently (you don’t want to break it, although it happens), and pop the knots through. Tighten the thread a little, and the knots and quilting stitches will lock the end in place.

Hope this made sense!
